The first time I saw this music video, I couldn't believe that it was all stop-motion, all done by hand. But yes, it really is. To me, even though the song is a bit cheesy and eh, I really do love how much work went into this. It is a labour of love, and certainly worth watching. Two years of work went into it, to convey a narrative for the music video. The use of colour is fantastic, with rich warm tones transitioning well into icy cold blues and greens. And even though the complexity looks to be in all the jellybeans, it is also worth noting how much effort and time went into getting the singer to look smooth through the video, instead of jerky and awkward. Simple things like eyebrow lifts would have taken painstaking concentration and intense focus, in order to get the whole thing to look natural. This method of pixilation is highly complex in a context such as this, but it certainly pays off.
